Understand Electro Pulse
Useful when…
- Stun a nearby enemy periodically with Diriga.
- Prioritize control over a precept that attacks multiple targets or reaches farther.
Effect and conditions
Every five seconds at maximum rank, Diriga continually zaps an enemy within 15 meters, trapping that enemy in a stunned state. At rank 0 the interval is 10 seconds; at rank 3 it is 7 seconds. The description does not specify zap damage, duration, or how the target is selected beyond being within range.
Rank and fit
Electro Pulse is a Diriga precept with Penjaga polarity and base drain 2. It has five ranks. The example cost for rank 4 to 5 is 160 Endo and 7,728 Credits. Ranking it reduces the interval between zaps; it does not change the stated 15-meter range.
Choosing a different precept effect
Arc Coil is described as zapping up to seven enemies within 10 meters, dealing 100 Electricity damage with a 10% Status Chance. Calculated Shot instead charges a powerful shot at the first enemy within 70 meters. These precepts have different targeting and effects; neither description establishes that it can stun targets like Electro Pulse.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- The listed target range is 15 meters, shorter than Calculated Shot's 70-meter targeting range.
- The effect is described as control; no damage value is provided.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Expecting the zap to reach targets beyond 15 meters.
- Assuming the stun precept has the damage or multi-target effects listed for Arc Coil.
